Ingredients:

12 ounces of extra-firm organic tofu

2 shallots, thinly sliced

1 green onion, chopped

1 garlic clove, minced

2 teaspoons olive oil

½ red bell pepper, chopped

½ yellow bell pepper, chopped

2 teaspoons ground turmeric

1 teaspoon smoky paprika

1 tablespoon liquid smoke

1 teaspoon sea salt

4 corn tortillas, or 8 mini corn tortillas

Garnish:

Fresh cilantro

Grape tomatoes, halved

Avocado, sliced

Directions:

Remove excess water from tofu by placing it in a fine mesh colander and letting drain for 10-15 minutes. Then wrap tofu in paper towels and set aside until ready to add to scramble.

Sauté the shallots and green onion in olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Add chopped peppers and chile (if using) and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Crumble tofu into the mixture, add seasonings and cook for 4-5 minutes, scrambling the mixture together with a large spatula. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Heat tortillas in a small skillet, fill with the tofu mixture and top with cilantro, grape tomatoes, and fresh avocado slices.

Variations: Add ½ cup salsa to scramble with the tofu; add 1/3 package vegan ground sausage with the bell peppers and cook until browned.
